Belmont, Dallas, Texas

Belmont, Dallas, Texas

Belmont is a neighborhood in east Dallas, Texas (USA). The neighborhood mainly consists of a collection of houses constructed in the 1910s and 1920s, in the Lower Greenville area. The houses are mainly Craftsman-style bungalows, and occasionally Tudor or Prairie style homes. There are occasional spats between homeowners and late-night party-goers due to the proximity of nearly 50 bars/restaurants in the area and their patrons using neighborhood residential streets for parking.

Belmont Neighborhood Association

In 2003, the Belmont Neighborhood Association was created. This is the second version of an association that existed in between 1982 and 1986, albeit with larger boundaries. [http://www.belmontna.org] . A group of area residents decided to form this new group after years of not having their concerns - noise, traffic, too many bars (60+) and other quality of life issues be ignored by the Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association.The issue of overlapping boundaries and not being recognized by the parent group of many Dallas neighborhood associations - The Dallas Homeowners League - are slowly being torn away.In early 2007, the BNA was given the theatre marquee for the burned-out Arcadia Theatre. The marquee was sold to the [http://www.madimuseum.org/ MADI Museum] and law firm and was rededicated in late March 2007.The money - $7,500 plus $800 raised through a raffle and a $500 donation from a local business - will be used for crimewatch and community activities in the BNA area.The BNA was recently approved by the IRS as a Non-Profit 501(c)4 (donations are not tax-deductible).

Belmont Addition Conservation District

In 2004, the Belmont Addition Conservation District was formed, under the [http://www.dallascityhall.com/dallas/eng/html/conservation_ordinances.html City of Dallas Ordinances] , with the intent of preserving the unique character of the neighborhood. This was in response to the growing number of "teardown" properties where developers and builders bulldozed vintage homes in order to put up new ones in old neighborhoods. Often, the style of the new homes were completely out of character with the existing neighborhoods prompting labels of "McMansions" or "Starter Mansions".
